PI Controller Based Power Factor Correction Circuit for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Using Solar Charging Module

Abstract

The electrical vehicle requires power without losses or harmonics. The proposed method utilizes PV (photovoltaic)solar module as an input source, a converter of boost DC-DC buck incorporate for power peaks maximum in getting with MPPT approach, and the SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) inverter improves the performance by option shift in phase shift varying on the circuit. This aims to reduce the total harmonics distortion, losses switching, and improve the power factor. By varying the module of PV irradiances and temperature, the power is generated and it is peak power for utilizing maximum with MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) that has been tracked. The Buck-Boost PFC (power factor correction) converter is used; when it performs the active state of PV, the Buck mode is utilized; if no power supplies the circuit, the boost mode will act to supply the SPWM inverter mode. Here the PI controller is applied for reducing the harmonics and stores on charging unit of EVs. The result simulated obtains the circuit electricity utilized by source result, which improves the performance by the effective charging station, which is applicable for EVs charging module. Overall, the method proposed is done with MATLAB/Simulink tool with the adaptation of 2018a.
